Why? Are you trying hack someones account?

If JP can deal with it without complaining, anyone can. :lol:

[d3vi8r]

I agree. There must be another way to prevent the problem. e.g. allow a certain maxLoginAttempts from a unique IP

why :noes: would anyone want to hack someones account here? besides you cant implement such a task to all users because of one or 2 incidents (just assuming:dabs:)

[game1283]

I love the checking whenever loging in! :)

"Why" is beside the point.

Fact is, it happens more than you know.

it the users fault for not using a secur pass word..
ie: (axEWC>;[.pD42r) is secure ............try a secure pass brute force only works for stupid ass common names passes
:angry:

this login check is annoying for people who keep their pc secure. i delete my cookies daily if not more often. who the hell would waste there time with a brute force on this site??? is there a secret vip section??? if someone is stupid enough to choose a common password then they deserve an attack on intelligence

it happens more then i know?? how would u know anyways:wacko:? wtf? if i may question ur sources

u have logs of the login attempts>?

[Skiz]

Most times the accounts aren't breached, but after 5 failed attempts, the account is locked and an email is sent to the registered email. Members see the email and make either make a thread about it, make a report, or PM us.

The attempts to access accounts happens a lot.

Just one example - http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-everything-related-board-9/t-someone-tried-log-into-my-account-180459

bitching mods about things you know nothing about is just ridiculous.

I agree with you 100% but you completely missed the point.


AFAIK, nobody's account was ever accessed by the 'hacker'.
The annoyance was that it gueses each user's pass more than 5 times triggering an email alerting of possible hacking attempts on the user's account.
A user would get 5+ emails per night, until I added the CAPTCHA system to log in.


This was months ago (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-everything-related-board-9/t-hacking-220242); a few weeks ago (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-everything-related-board-9/t-what-this-243295) I even tried removing it and the problem returned, so captcha was put back.

[RealitY]

There were enough accounts that were accessed also...

[Night0wl]

Isn't it possible to use another CAPTCHA system? This one makes it very hard at times to distinguish between upper and lower case (at least I think that's why I have a hard time logging in at times)

[iNVADER]

whatever do what the fu*k u want just cause a few lamers we all suffer

[Skiz]

Why not just check the "Remember Me" box? :huh:

[optimus_prime]

nah, he deletes cookies so his parents wouldn't know what porn sites he's been visiting. not really a reason security should be lowered.

I've had some dip-shit attempt to hack into my account dozens of times and I think it should stay. While I use an insanely secure password it's clear that not everyone does, plus it just pisses me off when they try it. A little inconvenience is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

The system isn't case sensitive.

[100%]

The upper/lower case doesn't matter.
that is one nice thing about it :fst::sick:

[silent h3ro]

It's not a big deal.

[Broken]

Some of the CAPTCHAs are very hard to read. My vision isn't all that great now a days. I've seen it where there is an option for the letters/numbers to be read off vocally. Is that an option in this system?

[silent h3ro]

If it is hard to read then turn your resolution down on your monitor or use Microsoft Magnifier until they make it vocal, if FST does.

[Broken]

It's some of the patterns that throw me off, I'm color blind.
It's not all the patterns either. I'd say a vocal option would be nice... but it not all well. I'll just refresh the image until I get one that's clear enough to read.

[optimus_prime]

well i think recaptcha (http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html) has an audio option, and there is a vbulletin addon (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151824). never saw it in action, but it sure sounds worthy looking into it :)

It looks like ReCAPTCHA has the letters in black and white, too. Good news for you, Broken.

[Broken]

Black and white really is much better for me.

nice news :yup:

[suprafreak6]

i dont really like the visual check, cause i can never tell if they spell it with a capital or something, you should do words or numbers, that way we can tell

Good job reading the thread. :frusty:

[eddie27]

It is annoying but necessary.

[Barbarossa]

I had to login a couple of times over the weekend, as I was away from home/work.

The captcha was no problem at all :dabs:

I always do a Visual Security Check before i sign into any woman.

No.

[Something Else]

If you just click the home link instead of filling the captcha it works fine....oops :pinch:
